To celebrate 100 years of independence, we encourage you to send us your "Wishes for Poland". We will publish them on our website and then put them in a time capsule for our descendants to open in another 100 years. The best ones will be read out loud during a special Debate for One Hundred Years of Independence.

The second of May is Flag Day in Poland. To mark the occasion, celebrations took place throughout the country. Like the one in Świnoujście, where a record large flag was hoisted onto a lighthouse and could be seen from several kilometers away. It was made by local residents.

Civic Platform and the Modern Party should run on a joint voting ticket in upcoming local elections, according to the newest poll from KANTAR Millward Brown for "Fakty" TVN and TVN24.

14 years have passed since the navy flag with gold stars was hoisted next to the red and white one. On the first of May 2004, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Slovenia, Cyprus and Malta joined the European Union. It was the largest ever expansion of the borders of the organisation.

Poland assumes the rotating presidency of the United Nations Security Council for the period of one month. The president of the council is responsible for setting the agenda, presiding over meetings, as well as crisis management. The main issues are set to be international law and peace and security in the world.

A fire ripped through a popular agritourism farm in Kruszyniany, in the northeast of Poland. The Tatarska Jurta was left in cinders after the night-time blaze. The fire broke out after everyone had already gone to bed, but luckily, no one was injured.

The EU is to present budget cuts in Brussels, while Polish farmers are riding on a booming industry. Business news with Mateusz Walczak.

Once upon a time, there were processions with thousands and thousands of people. International Workers' Day was celebrated heavily during the communist times in Poland, with colorful parades and marches in the streets of the nation's cities. Today, it all looks a lot more modest as Labour Day is rather a relic of the past and a promotion of organisations connected with left-wing politics. Nevertheless, it's a tradition still cultivated and enjoyed, at least by some.

First of May. Protesters spent the Labour Day in the parliament building, marking their 14th day of protest. In front of the building demonstrators showed their support for the disabled and their caretakers. Meanwhile, there is still no agreement between the protesters and the government, which is slow to meet their demands. The caretakers of the disabled aren't losing hope.

"In my opinion, the government is trying to find a way out of the situation, but without acknowledging that protesters are in the right," said the Commissioner for Human Rights, Adam Bodnar. The guest of "Fakty po Faktach" commented on the protest of the disabled and their caretakers taking place in the parliament building. Mr Bodnar added that the people protesting in the Sejm, for many days now, have "triggered the society's imagination" regarding the problems that the disabled are facing every day.

The situation in LOT Airlines is now clear, at least for a moment. The general strike planned for 1 May was called off as the labour union represetatives have announced. The protest, however, is still possible at a later date. The unions will reveal further steps within two weeks, as they want to give the prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki more time to closely examine the situation in the Polish carrier.

The Central Bereau of Police Investigations has detained two men who, according to estimates, cheated the Polish treasury for over 80 million zloty on VAT fraud.

They have three months to collect one million zloty. And this is all to help their son stand on his own two legs. The parents of little Alan hope that he will be able to undergo an expensive surgery and then rehabilitation in the USA for his leg defects. If not, the boy could face amputation.

Thirteenth night of disabled and their caretakers' protest in the Sejm. They want to meet with the minister of family and social issues, but demand a serious offer on the table. Minister Rafalska wants to meet, however, no longer in the parliament building, but in the Dialogue Centre. The protesters say that once they leave the Sejm, they won't be let back inside.

Almost half of respondents would vote for the current president Andrzej Duda, according to a recent poll by KANTAR Millward Brown for "Fakty" TVN and TVN24. His biggest rival would be the president of the European Council, Donald Tusk for whom 24 percent of those asked would vote. The mayor of Słupsk, Robert Biedroń came third in the poll with 15-percent support. In a run-off of presidential elections, 53 percent of those surveyed would support Andrzej Duda, while 44 percent would vote for Donald Tusk.

Power of Nowogrodzka (PiS party headquarters - red.) does not reach to the court rooms of other constitutional tribunals in EU. Over there, Polish Constitutional Tribunal does not hold any weight - said in TVN24 "Fakty po Faktach" Andrzej Rzepliński, former chief of that court. In his opinion, after changes in law forced by PiS, Polish Constitutional Tribunal has significantly lost in meaning. He said, that in face of such actions of the ruling party, judges should resist, even if that means being walked out of courts in handcuffs. In the first part of the program Waldemar Buda (PiS) and Jan Grabiec (PO) argued about current sit-in of disabled children parents in Sejm.

An origami inspired foldable skyscraper can be easily moved to and deployed in disaster zones.

- If the government is spending money so liberally, but can't find any funds in this situation, then I have only one conclusion: our financial situations is becoming tough - said in TVN24 "Kropka nad i" former president of Poland Aleksander Kwaśniewski. He was commenting on current dispute between government and parents of disabled children, who are protesting in the Sejm. In Kwaśniewski's opinion "the government came to realization, that the situation is bad and there is no more money".

What can you do when your flight is cancelled or delayed? Can you count on compensation? This time it was a close call for LOT Airlines passengers, as the general strike has been temporarily called off. However, it's good to know your rights in case LOT labour unions change their minds.

Beautiful and colourful tradition in the southeast of Poland. The International Mountain Hot Air Baloon Competition in Krosno always attracts the best pilots to compete. This year 33 crews came to Krosno to show their skills.
